Haha, didn’t look at the teams. Who was it, he was chucking himself all over the place and was also walking a tightrope for a 2nd yellow. Or was that someone else as well? 😂


van Hecke. The bug eyed gimp who plays CB for them.

 

Somehow avoided a yellow for doing the Boris Johnson Rugby tackle on Willock :lol:

Apart from the red card, he's not really contributed to many goals recently either has he?

 

In general I think he's one of our better players, tries to make things happen, but his end product has been missing lately.

From the descriptions I thought it was off the ball. In play like that, I wouldn't expect a red - yellow.  Stupid nevertheless.


This is what I thought as well. It’s in the flow of a challenge, he hasn’t lined the guy up and struck him. He’s trying to shove him away and unfortunately contacts above the shoulders. It’s not violent conduct in a million years.

Give the ref a decision to make and you always run the risk. Stupid is the word :thup:

Probably on brand of me but I actually do have a great deal of sympathy for him, despite thinking it was a red. What he's done is momentarily lose his composure in an incredibly high pressure situation and now he's victim of the incredibly overzealous three-game role and misses the biggest game of his club career. That the ref denied him a clear foul for the same infringement moments earlier (contributing to his actions) and then was visibly excited to get the red card in front of his face, sticks in the craw. 

 

It's a terrible, terrible error and he is accountable to it, but fans laying into him as if he isn't a massive reason for why we're in the final at all is a bit depressing. Understandable to some extent, but still just sad.

I know Willock has been poor most of the season. But I don’t really have much faith in Barnes, either. 
 

I think to try and shore things up and with it sounding like Hall will be out a while and Botman seemingly never going to play again :lol: it’ll be the Big Joe/Little Joe combo on that side.

In the most incriminating angle, where it looks a red, the defender is clearly holding and pulling a huge handful of Gordon's shirt. Gordon has repelled someone holding him.

 

We won't, but I bet Arsenal or Liverpool would get leniency for this. VVD gets leniency for elbowing people in the face.

I think he was trying to shove him off, don't think he was trying to strike him, but when you raise your hands that high, you can't really complain if you get sent off.

Its not that insane is it? Need to replace quite a few players this summer and probably cant do that without selling one of Isak/Tonali/Gordon/Hall/Bruno. 

It is a bit like. By all accounts we have funds ready to go for improvements. Unless an insane offer comes in and we already know who we'd replace him with it's pointless.

Got any other examples of this when he has played for us? Because I don't believe this is true at all.

 

I can't think of any and he's well known big advocate of meditation etc.

It's mostly forcing things when he's not playing well, or going on to waste good opportunities moreso when he's off it.

 

Doesn't seem very composed at all.

You said "emotionally volatile" I would take that as a loses his head.

 

What you described is footballing ability.  Seen nothing in his mental game ever similar to this.

 

Might well say all players are too emotionally volatile by that logic.

Which accounts are you looking at? We just had to sell a player in a squad that was very small to begin with. 

Sure we probably will get some more room to work with after this season is over, but surely not enough to do the squad overhaul we need without additional "ffp funds" from selling players.
